If Imoc are going to have a new subsection it needs to be for all engine converted Mr2s, not just for the handful of 5s-gte builds.[/quote]



So after the thread was posted, by me back in December - WE all agree a change would be beneficial.

What Paul, in the above quote mentions - sounds like a great idea...

So, how can this go ahead.. :-k who needs to make final decision.

I dont read the mk1 or mk3 forums as these versions have no apeal for me. The mk2 is what i will always love.

So with regards to this. I do find myself reading other forums where they are mixing the engines up. In the case for 5sgte i would love to read about it. Even if there are only 20 posted topics a year, i would be less inclined to visit other forums if the other sections are here aswell. Not only 5sgte, v6, TDI anyone? even mix the other mk1 and m3 into the same section. I do feel something is missing regarding engine swaps or atleast talk on here.

More topics only make for a better comunity.

Just my 2 cents. More then willing to pay more for subs if it helps out.

How's about "Two Brutal"?


Is it just for engine conversions? I can see it getting full of "I'm swapping from Rev1 to Rev3" threads.

How's about "MR2 Engine Swaps", kinda says what it does on the tin...?

How about simplifying the section headings and sub folders a'la mr2oc.com style?


I've just cut and paste here, but the headings are taken from the mr2oc.com site. The headings are quite a lot simpler, than the ones we have now.

Just thought, why invent the wheel lol, when the U.S. mr2oc.com "feels right"?!
